Another one of the conversations between myself and the WiiFit, transcribed for your enjoyment.
Fixing Match 3
For one of the most popular casual games in existence, Match 3 is actually really broken. Until one developer fixed it.
Was it a Hack?
A big chunk of the internet went down in October of 2016. What happened? Was it a hack?
Tenpenny Tower
Bethesda felt the need to jam a morality system into Fallout 3, and they blew it. Good and evil make no sense and the moral compass points sideways.
The Witch Watch
My first REAL published book, about a guy who comes back from the dead due to a misunderstanding.
In Defense of Crunch
Crunch-mode game development isn't good, but sometimes it happens for good reasons.
I have to admit, I lol’d at that, especially the punchline, which (apparently) is the point of said punchline. :)
Hee! I love these pieces of yours, but I have to admit I’d still like to get a WiiFit. ;D
Angie
Oddly: every time you write about the WiiFit, I think “I should get one of those…”
I got one.. Now I’m a Ski Jumping Professional.. I’m in the “normal” range.. so it’s not quite so bad.. my wife gets the “over weight” treatment.. and her Wii (Avatar) swells up after her “Body Test” (weigh in)..
I say, get it.. really.. my kids from 3yo .. to me.. at 43.9 years old (but sometimes a Wii age of under 30!) all love it.
And Shamus’ comics are dead on.. which makes the thing even better.
I do wish the redundant clicking was taken out of it.. once you’ve been trained what the things mean it gets old to be told again and again… and yes, Wii, I know I can use you to weigh other things.. quit telling me how to do it!
Anyone else having flashbacks?
“Look at you, Hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone, panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect, immortal machine?”
*rolling so much* My family owns Wii Fit, and yes, the Wii Balance Board is a pesky, annoying little creature. Like Dave said, this stuff fits. No pun intended. ;)
